They've Got Knut Page #2

---

as if nothing happened.

l think the question is, do we all leave

to be near him and maybe take action?

or do we get active up here

in a way Knut would be proud of?

ln what way?

-We'd have to talk about that.

Shall we vote on the two possibilities,

or does anyone see a third?

okay.

Who thinks we should leave?

Who thinks we should stay?

Any abstentions?

You have no opinion?

okay.

The majority is for staying here.

Can l have the water please?

Faking an Austrian accent is easy.

Just stuff your mouth with spaghetti,

then start talking.

No one will understand a word.

You didn't get it, either.

-No, not a word.

Lars, have you met Niklas yet?

Niklas, wait a minute.

Come here, Lars.

Lars is my son,

as you probably know.

Niklas is Birgit's son.

-l know.

How nice that you can

get to know each other.

We've met at Birgit's,

and Birgit and Lars have met too.

But you two...

What about tomorrow?

Do you want to take Rolf's course

with the grown-ups?

or do you two want your own course?

-Can he ski?

lt's Lars's second time. Mine too.

You've been skiing for a while?

-Yes.

Then it might be boring for you.

l'd rather go to Rolf's course.

-You'd rather ski with Rolf?

How are you doing?

What do you think?

Do you want to stay?

You see your chance

to get away from here?

What do you mean, ''my chance?''

This is a situation

where you decide.

l imagine it's not easy for you,

being so far away from Knut.

You imagine.

So we're staying?

Don't tell me you care

what happens to my brother.

l'm sure you're worried.

You don't have to like Knut.

But if you try to use him

to get away from these people,

don't expect my support.

l can tell they get on your nerves!

l don't care about the others.

l'm here for us.

Sorry, l was being unfair.

No.

l don't know what to do either ,

and l'm acting like an idiot too.

lt's just really getting to me

that l have no idea what's going on.

l'm mean, my brother's

not a terrorist or anything.

What do they want from him?

Whoopee!

Good, Birgit!

Right, now stop! Good!

Hey, you could cheer Jan on a little!

Jan! Jan! Jan!

Wow, it's tight here!

Don't...

Don't lean back so far, Silvia!

You have to lean forward more.

You're not working hard enough.

Bend your knees more.

But otherwise it was good.

Looking very good.

A ski race like this

needs more cheering!

Nadia, use your poles.

-lngo! lngo! lngo!

l'll show you.

lngo, slow down!

Don't brake with the poles!

Slowly!

That's it!

Now come across!

Leave some more room!

Lars! Jens!

Not so close together!

-God, it's tight here!

Come on, Lutz, we'll be a team.

Wait, l'm coming.

Everybody come with me!

Come along!

Come with me.

Birgit, you're not skiing

with those blunt edges, are you?

Actually, l am.

Why, what about them?

Take a look. What did you do to them?

-No idea. l bought the skis used.

l can't let you ski like that.

You're a danger to yourself and others.

lt's not funny.

Wolfgang knows a lot about it,

ask him if he can help.

l have a request.

ln light of how we agreed

to regard this stay yesterday,

l suggest we not stay out

till the lift stops running.

ls it okay if we meet

in the cabin at 3:30?

Then we can discuss what to do

about the Knut problem, okay?

okay.

See you later!

-See you later.

l have to discuss something with lngo.

-l'll wait here.

lngo, l'd like to talk to you.

-Aha.

l want to get everyone up to one level

as fast as possible

so everyone can do the same exercises.

As the others all have some experience,

l wanted to ask if you felt like

some extra practice this afternoon.

What a great offer!

Lutz and Lars

will be practicing with Birgit,

and l figured you needed it most.

-l'm no great athlete.

Well, maybe, but that's not important.

Everyone has his talents.

You just need practice.

No offense, but Nadia and l want

to spend the afternoon together .

l see.

-No need to make it a rigid rule.

That's a great offer.

-lt'd just be a few afternoons.

Just at first. Then l'll have you

up to the level of the others.

You should do it. l was going

to ski a few slopes with Jan anyway .

You like the bumpy slopes, don't you?

-Yeah.

So you're a good team that way .

And bend.

Bend.

Not easy.

-Did you feel it?

Yup, in my legs.

-Yeah, that way you have better control

and you can move better.

And bend lower!

okay.

God, it's steep here!

-And lower!

Hey.

Come on, lngo, you can do it.

And bend lower!

Are you okay?

-Yeah, l'm fine.

When you approach people directly

with flyers, you get the best results.

We agreed to quit the slopes early.

We owe it to Knut,

and l think we should all stick to that.

Would you quit playing the boss?

So they're a bit late. Big deal.

You might not notice,

but l'm really giving my all here.

l called Germany three times

while you were on the slopes.

lt's hard to get any information.

We were discussing

how we might get some publicity,

and Lutz had some good ideas.

-l'd like to ask Jan again

about the possibility of

doing something with music.

l'm not sure l'm the right guy for that.

-Good idea, though.

Don't you think?

-Definitely.

Hey, what's this?

-lt's our turn now.

Hurry up a little, girls.

-lt might be a while.

l forgot everything, even my toothpaste.

But there's enough here.

Toothpaste?

-Yeah, but l always just use yours.

orange?

Yeah, move one string down.

Right. And back up again.

A7 is right there.

There's a reason why

they're giving us so little information.

There's a whole machine behind this,

that prepared it all and carried it out.

We have to try and

get a wedge in there somehow,

and l was wondering how, and uh...

You mentioned that

you knew some people

who we could ask, right?

Since when has she been with Knut?

l'm not sure. Since last winter?

l've only met her twice myself.

l wonder if

we're being supportive enough.

Just imagine, not knowing

what's happening to your boyfriend...

The helplessness.

And she doesn't know anyone here well.

l don't think

we're supporting her enough.

Thirty-one.

Two twos and a few extra.

Good night.

-Good night, sleep tight.

Night, Birgit.

l hope the political faction

isn't spoiling your vacation.

Nah, l have other problems.

-They don't realize their day is over.

Thirty-one.

Sixty-two.

Two ones.

Two twos.

Yup, two twos.

Thirty-two.

Have you seen Nadia?

She went out with Jan a while ago.

-You'd better keep an eye on her .

Two ones.

lt's true.

Wolfgang, come sit with us.

Maybe later.

Hey, did your daddy leave you alone?

They're in the bedroom.

They?

My mother too?

-Yup.

Your father and my mother.

-Uh huh.

Are you crazy leaving them on their own?

They wanted to.

-l bet they did.

What do you think they're up to?

l think you know exactly

what they're doing.

l'm going to join the others.

-You stay right here.

Nadia!

Nadia!

The question isn't if they're f***ing.

We both know they are, right?

Right.

The question is...
